Functional Analysis (4L, 2E) Prof. Wachsmuth, Nicolas Borchard

Attention

Please register for this module via Moodle  before the start of the semester.

Contents

This course teaches the basics of (linear) functional analysis. In particular, we will cover the following topics:

  •     Metric spaces
  •     Banach and Hilbert spaces, Lp-spaces, Sobolev spaces
  •     Linear continuous operators
  •     Linear functionals, dual spaces, the Hahn-Banach theorem
  •     Principle of uniform boundedness, closed graph theorem, inverse mapping theorem, open mapping theorem
  •     Fredholm theory
  •     Spectral theory

Prior knowledge

Basic knowledge of analysis, linear algebra and measure theory (as covered in a stochastics course).

Examination

In order to take a module examination, an oral examination takes place after the lecture period.

Supplementary literature

The following books are a good supplement to the lecture, in particular they also contain many exercises and further material. Within the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg they are available free of charge as e-books (see links) and some are available in the library.
